A Shadow

And in the midst of the clouds that cover the mountains

The water that falls beneath those creaks,

The rocks that hurdle against the fall,

A shadow looms.

The cold wind and the drizzles,

Sends a shiver through the muzzle

The reticent trees with the blowing wind

Tell the story of that shadow.

It lives beneath these eerie mountains,

Dolefully tied to its past chains

It searches in these depths

An answer or a soul to set it free.



The chains strangle the lingering shadow

Bounding it to the closed window.

A crack in that window or a key to the chain

Is for what the shadow aims.

The trees rustle past and reveal a secret

The key to the chain is within the shadow,

It dives deep within its soul

With the shroud of the clouds and the drizzling rain

The shadow sets itself free
